WITH PERFORMANCE
DANCE FRIDAY
NIGHT

The Girlie Show, a local art and design show and party featuring all female artists and designers, will host its ninth annual show on Friday, November 2 and Saturday, November 3 at the Farmers Public Market building in Oklahoma City. Hours are Friday, November 1, 7 p.m. – 11 p.m., with a new-for-2012 VIP preview hour from 6-7 p.m. Friday night’s show will feature entertainment from a variety of burlesque dancers, Teaze Dance in Oklahoma City and more, including Perpetual Motion modern Dance. Saturday’s show features live music all day and runs from noon – 5 p.m.

The show, branded “An Art Show With A Curve” by owners/organizers Erin Merryweather, Marilyn Artus and Dawn Tyler-Harth, brings together the most unique and often times most under-the-radar female talent Oklahoma and the U.S. have to offer. Presentations at the show range from fashion to sculpture to paintings to housewares to … just about anything you could expect not to see at other shows.
